roof gutter MUST stay on a mini, it's the only thing that makes deseaming bareable. but i'm biased as mine's got the roof gutter but others removed....

Or is it Because people think it is a 1275,




Ugh!

And that ain't no 1275...

I can imagine how bad the rust will be in that beast coming from Coomera...

Half doNe looks crap but fully de seaming a mini is proven to reduce drag significantly So for racing I'd do it

why do you think they've cut the gutter off - some people fix the roof where it rusts, some people cut the seam off and bog it up - I think we've found the latter....

Well by looking at where all the light blue paint is and remembering where late model clubbys generally rust out I'd say that one is a cheese grater :? . I reckon the rear gutter has actually rusted off instead of being cut off.
